How should loss and waste of temperature-sensitive goods be measured?

A temperature event alone is not product loss. Define period, scope and actual disposition inventory; leave product decisions to the authorised process.

Short answer

Define lot, product group, period and unit; record event, authorised disposition and actual loss separately. Count only verified disposal in the inventory.

Temperature events and actual product loss are separate records.

Inventory scope. Fix product group, period, unit and method.
